The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 756

Lucille eventually left my hospital room.

She didn't seem to notice the clear annoyance and impatience in my tone. She quietly packed up the untouched side dishes and oatmeal, zipped up her bag, and offered a bright smile. "Alright, I'll head out first. I won't disturb your rest, Selena."

She then turned to Ferris. "Ferris, thank you for staying with her, but please make sure you take care of your own injuries too. If you need absolutely anything, just call me. My phone is on twenty-four-seven."

I couldn't even bring myself to look at her.

Ferris, however, was perfectly polite as he saw her out. "Take care, Lucille. Things have been chaotic lately, please stay safe on your way back."

He really knew how to play the perfect son-in-law.

I silently rolled my eyes but didn't say a word.

Sensing my absolute reluctance to discuss Lucille, Ferris walked back over and gently stroked my cheek. "Do you want some water?"

"Yeah," I murmured.

Ferris poured a glass of water but didn't hand it to me immediately. Instead, he cradled it in his palms, passing it back and forth.

He was worried the water was too hot and was cooling it down with his hands first.

Ferris was never a careless man; in fact, he was incredibly observant and meticulous.

Watching his natural, effortless gesture, another wave of warmth rushed over my heart. I couldn't help but reach out and gently touch his face.

It was handsome, sharply contoured, wonderfully warm, and entirely real.

It was a feeling that brought me profound happiness.

In the past, I simply thought I was in love with him. Looking at that face used to make my heart race wildly. But now, looking at him and feeling his warmth gave me an overwhelming sense of peace and absolute security.
